If that is true (which I seriously doubt about the members atleast) Does it make them wrong to charge? I wont do another what's right/wrong topic here but this is my 2 cents. If people want to wait on NODRM to spoon-feed them games then let them. OR if they want to pay for a dongle that let them play newer games then let them. At the end of the day it's all about what is convenient to the end user. My opinion about this 4.21 CFW is just a "smokes and mirrors mind trick" It's a firmware not needed people want CFW either downgrade or buy used the end. The whole project/development of this CFW is a waste of time because of there is nothing wrong with 3.55 firmware to play games on. It's not like the CFW will have PSN acess anyway... just stay on 3.55 (sorry if I offended any dev)

yes, it does make them wrong to charge. free and open information should stay free and open source. it is not a service but an unneeded product to just put a price tag on something. what's different from waiting on n0drm and when people waited on tb except n0drm's speed and patched updates besides price? well, i guess also besides n0drm is doing something right You don't want a right/wrong topic but the only way to respond without simply agreeing or disagreeing is to talk about what is right or wrong.

It's not about right or wrong, it's about the scene turning into a huge milking factory.

There is absolutely no reason to charge.
There is no hardware, nothing, it's just DRM to make sure you paid.

This mentality is no different than developers overpricing their games.

But you do get the packaging and warranty with it, which you don't get with a pirated version.

Back in the days I'd pay for mod chips, but I'd get a lot of features and a real piece of hardware worth the price. Now you pay for the sake of paying, some freaking DRM on a stupid dongle to make sure you cashed in, WTF ? Seriously ?

And idiots are ready to accept this and just pay ?
Wake up.

I know that this era is all about overconsumption and peoples buying things for the sake of spending money, but this defies logic and the purpose of a scene in the first place.

This place should be for sharing, not charging stuff just to get rich by exploiting scene users.

This is the only scene where devs charge peoples for the sake of charging. No DRM on any dongle anywhere else.

Sharks are now in charge of this scene.

I understand what you guys are saying, but I lost my patience with the Ps3 scene. If anything I would sell it and get a RGH xbox360 (if you are into piracy)

I may just end up buying a RGH 360 so I can play God of War: Ascension, Last of Us, Beyond: Two Souls, Yakuza 5, Unfinished Swan, Rain, and The Last Guardian.

No reason to be all tormented cause you've no patience. Some of us don't aquire that
ability until the age of 21. Hang in there Kid.......there's allot of life ahead of you,
and does'nt require a controller.

The xbox scene is jumping for joy, hearing that you're about to jump over to their
box. Be on the look out for Skippy2000 & Wally2001. They are my 10 & 11 year old
nephews. Maybe you can team up with them in a frag-fest

awesome to hear there's still devs in the fw scene.
I'm excited to hear more news in the near future. besides what can be done for any the devs' personal use i think it's great they're willing to share whether or not they decide to allow end-users to partake for free, or at a premium I'm honestly very happy with my PS3 right now having the abililty to run backups limited to a certain fw. I mean in all honesty , to play the latest and greatest you can always have a rental account, and your local retailer if you want to play them. myself personally i like the novelty of having the freedom to preserve certain functions of the console while being able to exploit others(e.g. hdd backups, emulators) I mostly have a Sony console because they have exclusive IPs, coupled with exclusive technology it's makes for a farily simple entertainment purchase decision, just gaming alone.
AS far the makers of this software available to me on my PS3 i think it's an end user choice you dont have to pay for any of it. so why complain about what's not FREE?
I approve this message

If this list reveals to be true (which we don't know yet), then this scene has been a joke since the beginning.

Those devs that proclaimed freedom of speech and sharing are now turning into a shark robbing their own community.

I think you're missing the point here, you probably just wanna play new games and don't care to pay for another DRM dongle.

Daddy will probably pay it for you.

I hope this scene hasn't settled a new standard for the future, otherwise we're f*cked.

If a 4.21 CFW is on the horizon then that's Awesome news!!! I picked up one of the new slim PS3's, the new new slim ones, and it actually has 4.21 on it, not 4.25 surprisingly...

[bitsbubba]

if this ever does see the light of day, then you will need a 3.55 or lower PS3 as they have already stated those are the only machines that will be able to
